Remote Start

Ok i have an 85 f150 4x4
and in tennessee we don't have very cold winters but cold for me.
My parents wont let me keep my truck in the garage mainly with 3 trucks in there already(my dads truck, My moms truck, and my Ranger project) i would like to put a remote starter on my truck so when i get out to go to school it is nice and toasty.
Where can i get one?
Is it any different instaling it on an older truck?

If an 85 is carburated, I don't see how it would work.
How would you activate the choke?

not gonna happen since you have a manual, and your vehicle is carb'd, not fuel injected. You could get it to work, but if you leave your truck in 1st, it'll drive a way on you.

i park it with bricks behind the tires anyways and leave it in neutral any ways.
Before i leave it at night i could get the pump the gas to close the choke? unless it would go back to open over night.
Ya i might be able to teach my 14 year old brother how to check the oil and start it
save me getting cold
